Blockbuster @ Home content

[TimA]

So I'm a new Dish subscriber and got B@H thrown in for free for a few months. I'm a Netflix subscriber but have put my account on hold for the duration of my Blockbuster trial. Coming from Netflix, I'm used to managing both a DVD and Streaming queue, and their PC or PS3 app allows me to choose a video from my streaming queue. I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out how to use the B@H service. I've got a DVD queue, but I can't figure out how to get a searchable list of movies/shows available for streaming or any way to manage a streaming queue. I can browse or search for content from the Hopper itself, but that's an awkward experience, and when I search I can't seem to make an easy distinction between the variety of sources for the content, which generally includes non-free On Demand titles. Is it just my unfamiliarity, or is this a difficult system to work with? I'd considered dropping Netflix in favor of B@H given the integration, but this is either super awkward to work with or my Netflix experience has got me looking at this the wrong way.
